rest and conviction records can be a major hurdle when seeking a new job or new housing. Clinic attorneys can assist in filing to expunge or seal such criminal records in Cook County including, thanks to GCLC’s participation in New Leaf Illinois, cannabis convictions. Our attorneys can also provide related assistance with Healthcare Worker Waivers and Certificates of Good Conduct, as well as temporarily unsealing your expunged or sealed records so that you can access them for immigration or other purposes.
